10. Girls can be geeks too!

I'm one, my husband is one and both my son & daughter are too. The president is a geek don't know if either of his daughters are.

I love the expression on the President's face in this picture and how he encouraged the kid to give him a demonstration. Who could have resisted?

12. Oh I know that, my daughter is one, but it seems dads like to

wrestle with their sons but not their daughters. Afraid they''ll hurt them(?) or not want to admit daddy's little girl is a big tom boy.

6. I love how self assured the kid is with

the President of the United States.

7. I don't mean you hijack you thread with nonsense but...

Wow! Those curtains are an eyesore.

Funny cause, sometimes I don't even care about things like that.

BTW... It feels wonderful to see the president promoting science.

9. The boy is from the Phoenix area

and has been getting a lot of local press here in AZ. Congratulations, Joey!

Fourteen-year-old Joey Hudy of Anthem had been warned.

Whatever you do, White House officials told the young inventor, don't let President Barack Obama talk you into firing your Extreme Marshmallow Cannon in the historic State Dining Room.

But when the president asked Joey for a demonstration at the White House Science Fair on Tuesday, the eighth-grader hesitated for only a moment before giving the go-ahead. Obama cleared media from in front of the cannon and pumped up the cannon's compressor, announcing, "The Secret Service is going to be mad at me about this."

11. Too bad there weren't targets for them to shoot.

Such as figures of Romney, Gingrich, Santorum, Boehner, McConnell, Cantor.

13. Such a refreshing change from Incurious George.

Though maybe W would have been interested in a water boarding biology exhibit.
